Description:
- Harold and Bebe meet and fall in love. At home, Snub, Bebe's father, ejects a gaggle of bouquet-carrying suitors after many a pratfall. Snub roars in sub-title: "My daughter will marry a nobleman or nothing". Harold arrives in a rented suit. He signals to Bebe who is having dinner with the family. Snub intercepts the message and manhandles Harold. Bebe runs to the rescue, inadvertently pulls out the visiting card of a count from one of the pockets of Harold's rented suit. She shows it to Snub who straightaway begins to fawn over Harold, invites him to dinner, etc. After many droll happenings, dinner breaks up and dancing begins. Snub writes a note to Bebe to get the "Count" to elope with her. <7mn 15s>
